Cabinet Hardware Jig for Handles and Knobs Aluminum Alloy Drill Guide Sleeve Drawer Pull Wood Drilling Dowelling Tools Set Drawer Knob Pull Drilling Templates Jig Tool Set

I read reviews of this guide having plastic drill holes and no accuracy. That is simply not true. As you can see in my pictures, the drill holes have metal guides and I found the accuracy to be spot on. I found this guide to be way better than using a cheap plastic template. Most everything is solid aluminum and perfect fitting. The only items in plastic are the guide holes, but they too fit rigidly and allow for accurate placement and drilling. It comes with a storage pouch to keep all of the parts together.As with any guide, be sure your settings are correct and that your set screws are tight. Remember than many drawers are NOT the same size. Always double check your measurements before drilling. I found the best way to use this guide is to put it on with a small protective clamp to hold it in place. That way you just have to focus on drilling and not holding it with your other hand.My steps for pulls:1. Place painters tape at the very top of drawer (to mark center). Place another piece of tape across expected drill areas to minimize splintering.2. Measure center of drawer and mark it on the tape at the top.3. Line up the guide at the mark at the top. The guide has a mark for the center.4. Assuming you already measured your screw positions for the pull, place a clamp to hold guide in place with top of guide resting on top of drawer face.5. Double check everything6. Drill each hole.7. Remove clamp and guide.8. Done! You should now have 2 perfectly placed drill holes for your pull.For knobs, you need to figure out your placement depending upon your preferred style (i.e. modern, classic or traditional) and then use the plastic edge guide (not used for a pull) to line up your guide. Again, use a clamp to hold it in place. Always double check that the guide in in the correct position...and then drill away. Flip the guide around to have the same exact positioning for the opposite side door.I found this guide to be perfect for the home do-it-yourself'er. It is way cheaper than the TP unit and does the same exact thing. Over 20 knobs and 10 pulls were installed with accurate placement in my kitchen.

I rehab houses, which usually means new cabinets and vanities. I have installed hundreds of knobs and pulls. I wish I had found this tool sooner. Before this tool I was using the plastic guides you find at the big box stores. This tool is more versatile. Instead of drilling the holes by inserting the drill bit through the drill guides, I use a 3/16" transfer punch to make a pencil point mark on the cabinet. This is the same diameter as the guide tool's metal sleeve. A transfer punch has the same diameter throughout the length of the shaft, as opposed to a center punch that is tapered. I then remove the tool and use a brad point drill bit to drill the holes. Using this method, I am able to eyeball my punch marks on the cabinet, and verify accuracy before actually drilling the hole. If I have made an error, the punch mark is so small it would not be noticed, and I can correct my error. Also, I am not trying to hold the guide tool and drill at the same time. Further, there is no chance of the drill bit damaging the guide tool metal sleeve. Using a brad point drill bit, I can get the drill point exactly on top of my punch mark, and don't have to worry about the drill bit wandering when I start drilling.

Well made product, comes with nice carrying case. If you’re not use to installing cabinet hardware it can be a little overwhelming I would definitely practice before installing hardware.

Terrific tool, great aluminum quality. I can't understand why people buy the other brand that's about 4 times the price of this one. The only thing that the other one has and this one doesn't is a sturdy case and instructions of how to use it. There's plenty of videos that show how to use it. That's all.Absolutely fantastic tool. If you are looking for the best cabinet hardware jig this is it.

Man did this save me some time and trouble. Wish I had it on the last house installing kitchen knobs for the first time. On our new house we changed to drawer pulls, and if you ever had to drill 2 perfectly straight, and width accurate holes you know how hard that can be.... now on the the next drawer and do it all over.. sheezzz.. With this gadget, you set it and forget it.. I was able to drill 8 drawers in the same time it took me to do one... You set this up once and then rinse and repeat all the drawers or cabinets you need to do. Great tool...

I took extra effort to take photos and show that this is a great product, because some bad reviews almost prevented me from buying it. I think some of the people writing reviews must not know how to use tools very well, because this thing did everything I needed and was very simple to use. If used and stored properly, it should last a lifetime for your average DIYer.The pictures I have attached show how to set it up and use it to drill holes for drawers and cabinets.

This tool was very helpful in installing out cabinet hardware. My only complaint is that it can move a little bit if you're not holding it super tight when drilling your holes. We found it more helpful to use a pencil to mark holes and then take the tool down and drill into the marked holes.

I used this for 25 different drawers in my new house. It was easy to use and if you use the exact size drill bit that fits into the metal holes in the guides there is no issue with alignment. I would mount the handles to the guide by screwing in the handles into the holes in the guides then would lock down the screws once I centered the handle on the guide. Then I would remove the handle from the guide so that when I drilled they were exact match to the handle.
